I’m fairly certain one of my elderly neighbors is dead and rotting in their apartment

…because there are flies in mine. For the first time ever in 3 years. For no discernable reason (i.e. not the trash, not the cat’s litterbox, not the chinchilla’s cage, there is an acceptable level of cleanliness and certainly no more grime than usual). There are about 10 flies chilling in various parts of the apartment and every time I kill one, I see 2 more.

No smells yet but I expect it to start any day now.

On the other hand, watching cat try to catch flies is pretty entertaining.
